  • Back Country Horsemen of America Expand Collapse

    The Back Country Horsemen of America is a national group dedicated to preserving the rights and land use of horses in the back country and is a non-profit organization. BCHU works under the idea that continued horse use, in harmony with the capacity of our public lands, is the best interest of the majority of Americans.

    • To perpetuate the common sense use and enjoyment of horses in America’s back country and wilderness
    • To work to ensure that public lands remain open to recreational stock use
    • To assist agencies responsible for the management of public lands
    • To educate, encourage, and solicit active participation in the wise and sustaining use of the back country resource by horsemen and the general public commensurate with our heritage
    • To foster and encourage the formation of new Back Country Horsemen organizations
